The new old guy! (Western NY)
Hey guys! Most people call me Stitch, but that was taken!
I am retired Navy Parachute Rigger and haven't had truck since traded in my 1993 Ranger XLT for 2002 ROUSH Mustang! Well been retired from Navy 5 years this month and the Western NY winters are getting worse!
I am Vol Fireman and my 1999 Crown Vic has taken beating up here in the north! Time to park her for while and its time for truck again! Have my eye on red 2005 F-150 FX4 and have some questions I am going to post! Bank loan approved just looking for my new wheels!!!

How about, "welcome aboard?" So they've gone back to PR? Spend any time at Coronado or Dam Neck? My nephew's at Dam Neck now and the area has really changed in 35 years. Back then it was just T-10's and ADD wasn't in common use. At that time though we were allowed to pack gear up to take to Suffolk with us to keep everything in date. There was no reason to but it was a good excuse that allowed us to save some money. The rules have really changed since then and what we were allowed to get away with isn't going on today. Yea, walked to school uphill both ways too. Good luck with the truck and enjoy it.
